Quiz of the Week: 2nd Pair in Heads-up Spots (NL)

Sometimes you only have the second pair, but you are in a heads-up situation so this might still be enough for some action. Examine spots like these in the new quiz of the week!

With a second pair you have a pretty marginal hand and whereas it could be stupid to do anything but check/fold with plenty of opponents around, in heads-up situations a second pair can prove itself to be a valuable hand.

In this week's quiz we ask you to judge a few different plays made by different player types and how to react to them. What does a check mean on a monochrome board and is your pocket pair still good for a bet? Does a straight draw for you change anything?

Be sure to check out the new quiz and put your skills to the test!
